A new survey by insurance firm Aviva found that 72 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds believe the term “snowflake” is unfairly applied to millennials. 74 percent of respondents took it a step farther, arguing that they believe the use of the label could have a negative effect on young people’s mental health.

I have never even heard the term but
Hey, hey, hey, snow flake.
Aww... Just more proof, as if we needed any, that they truly are snowflakes. It is a very appropriate term, and probably slightly less offensive than say pussies, wimps, coward, momma’s boy....
You sir, know how to turn a phrase. I love it.
Snowflakes Melt Down at Being Called Snowflakes; Irony Lost on Them
Wait. What? Are they saying a negative stereotype is a negative stereotype? Hard to believe. They actually got one right. Here’s the rub. A snowflake will always melt when the heat rises. See above #2, best advice: “Suck it up, buttercups”.
Damaging their mental health is a non issue considering they are already screaming crazy
They have absolutely no idea and are ill-prepared for the cold, hard life they’re faced with.
. . . but I’m sure it was perfectly reasonable to call us deplorables.
What really ripped their hides though, was that we were wearing it like a badge of honor!
Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake!
Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake!
Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake!
Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake! Snowflake!
That’s the other side of it, isn’t it?
Can’t argue that!
My generation had moms and dads who raised us to respect our elders and others. Snowflakes are all about me me me ...
Sadly, when they wake up and see the debt our generation has left them, they will sh*t.
